Eyeshadows come in all colors and brands, but which ones are the best when it comes to blending, no creasing, staying power and color? Read below for a ranking of the 10 different brands and which ones will work best for your needs.
10. Clinique and Estee Lauder - I have lumped these two together because most of their shadows have performed for me in much the same way. Average color and average staying power. For a high end brand they don't blend as well as you would expect and the pigmentation is not as high as one would expect for the price.
9. Lancome - I have to rate Lancome above Clinique and Estee Lauder, because their shadows blend well and offer higher pigmentation. Staying power is average as is blending.
8. Too Faced Quickie Chronicles/ Bobbi Brown - Too Faced - These eyeshadows come in nice palettes - coordinate easily and blend well. Staying power and pigmentation is average. Bobbie Brown shadows provide average pigmentation, but real staying power.
7. Stila - Stila eyeshadows come in great colors and provide nice natural looks. Although staying power and pigmentation is average, they are great for daywear.
6. Beauty Addicts - A new line of palette eyeshadows, Beauty Addicts offers ease in coordinating colors, above average pigmentation and average staying power.
5. Bare Minerals/Everyday Minerals - The glimmers or shimmers are great with a little primer. They are above average pigmentation and staying power. They also work great dusted on a base for other colors. Everyday Minerals is lesser known but provides about the same coverage for less money
4. Playboy Beauty - Playboy Beauty's Eyeshadow Duos offer above average pigmentation, staying power and little creasing. They come in palettes of two colors to coordinate shades easily.
3. DuWop - DuWop offers Smoke - which creates a smokey eye easily, Eye Duets pairing to great cooridinating colors and their eye color palettes, such as Blue Eyes, which allow you to create a blue eye with liner all in one kit.
2. Napoleon Perdis Loose Dusts and Eyeshadows - Napoleon Perdis is very similar to MAC offer loose dusts and shadows with high pigmentation, staying power and little creasing, This is one of my favorite lines.
1. MAC Pigments and Eyeshadows - NARS eyeshadows. - MAC is know the world over for the high pigmentation and stunning colors. They aslo offer long lasting color and little creasing - Tied with MAC is NARS - NARS shadows are highly pigmented and offer incredible staying power, I can put it on in the morning and not have to touch it up at all!
